It’s not a 5th CB if Lati is deputising MVE at RB. If MVE gets injured, Burroughs won’t be playing RB and it’s not even a given he’ll be kept in the squad this season.

The squad requirement is either a CB or RB - depending on where MR wants Lati playing. He played RB against Everton which was probably his starting team for Stoke minus Wright & Sheaf.

it is though as he'd still be the 5th cb to be used with binks, kitching, thomas and lati all being picked there before him. It's a waste of money

You specifically said

I've just countered that point.

The depth in terms of numbers which according to Robins own count we’re still 1-3 players behind that standing count of 2022-23. So you haven’t countered that point unless you believe MR to be wrong.

In which case, you clearly know best.

What are the odds that 2 CB's are out as well as MVE being out as well as Eccles.

Dovin
MvE
Thomas
Binks
Bidwell
Sheaf
Rudoni
Torp
Wright
Simms
Sakamoto

Collins
Burroughs
Latibeaudiere
Kitching
Da Silva
Eccles

Palmer
Tavares
Thomas-Asante (tbc)
Mason-Clark

That still leaves

Rodridgues

Hope Mark Robins goes for 433 this season.

Sheaf, Rudoni,Torp in a midfield 3, would be Awesome 😎

Plus, Sakamoto, Simms, Mason- Clarke in a Front 3 , would be Scary 😎

Where’s that come from? If MVE gets injured, Lati comes in at RB so if Thomas also gets injured/suspended you’re left with a back 4 of Burroughs-Lati-Binks-Bidwell (for example). That doesn’t look particularly strong to be honest. Burroughs hasn’t played a competitive match at RB in his career. We’re not likely to play 2 left footers at CB either unless things are desperate.

It’s not just ‘who can cover’ you need role players to compete to start for places and have players who can change games in-game.

Robins has been looking at a CB and a CM for a while. He either believes the quality, quantity or both isn’t there in those positions to achieve our aims.

You don’t get linked with Worrall or Stamenic if you plan on having be role players.

Eccles has also played RB, and had individual RB performances last season better than any I've seen from MVE.

He played RWB/RM which is very different to RB. Burroughs for instance has played lots of games at LWB/RWB but has never played in a back 4 competitively.

I agree that Eccles is the best player to deputise for MVE if he is injured, suspended or needs to be rested.

Agree. What I dont want to see is Lati there. I think MR uses that as an excuse to give him more game time as he's a good player but not first choice CB, so he shoehorns him in there as cover or as cover for CM. He's neither. He's CB and should only play there imo.

Which is actually my point. In terms of numbers we still have less players than that season. The quality outside of start XI is obviously a lot higher. So we’re a good 2-3 players short of having a squad able to compete in all cup competitions and the league.

Not sure you can argue we have less player than that season though? Looking through the squads on TransferMarkt I'll give 25 players that season, including the half season squad members of JWE, BNC, McNally, Sean Maguire and Todd Kane. That also includes Cian Tyler who I haven't included in this years squad.

This season we already have 24, not including BTA or Obikwu.

Good grief some of those names make you shiver - Maguire and Kane not the most effective squad members

Kane was like Paulo Maldini compared to Maguire.
Maguire wouldn't have got in the team we had in our fist season back in the Championship, he was truly dreadful.
